Accordingly, the second end face 17 is supported against a corrugated spring package 20, which in turn is supported in the axial direction of the longitudinal axis A against a thrust washer 21.
- the Wellfederwovene 18 and 20 each have two corrugated springs 128, 138, 130, 140, between which an elastic intermediate layer 118, 120 is arranged.
- the corrugated springs 128, 138, 130, 140 are annular springs, which have an approximately uniform radius, which preferably coincides with the radius of the bearing outer ring 7.
- the corrugated springs 128, 138, 130, 140 are not flat, but have the same side view Fig. 1 a wavy shape. This wave-like shape allows the corrugated springs 128, 138, 130, 140 to be compressed in the axial direction between the bearing outer ring 7 and the thrust washers 19 and 21, respectively. In this case, an elastic deformation occurs, which is reversible and at rest, the bearing outer ring 7, as in the FIG. 1 is shown, positioned centrally between the thrust washers 19 and 21.

These steel rings are suitable to receive the slight movement of the corrugated spring assemblies 18 and 20 during operation, without the corrugated springs also made of hard material in the thrust washers 19 and 21 incorporated.
- the thrust washers 19 and 21 are therefore particularly advantageous to use when the frame (here the steering housing 9 and the housing cover 10) is made of a light metal alloy or a similar, relatively soft material.
- the construction shown provides that the thrust washer 19 rests directly on an end face 22 of the steering housing 9.
- the second thrust washer 21 is correspondingly applied to an annular collar 23 of the housing cover 10, which is opposite in the installed state of the end face 22 at a distance.
- the bearing outer ring 7 is supported with its outer peripheral surface 15 on a web 24 which is formed circumferentially in the bearing seat 8.
- the web 24 forms with the bearing outer ring 7 a narrow, annular circumferential bearing surface, which allows tilting of the bearing outer ring 7 relative to the bearing seat 8 to a lesser extent.

- This assembly is then inserted together with the corrugated spring assembly 18 and the thrust washer 19 in the steering housing 9 until the thrust washer 19 rests on the end face 22 of the steering housing 9.
- the threaded spindle 2 can be spindled into the nut 1 before or after this assembly process.
- the Wellfederallyp 20 and the thrust washer 21 are placed on the bearing outer ring 7 and the housing cover 10 is placed and fastened in a flange region, not shown on the housing 9.

- the ball nut 1 can move in the bearing seat 8 in the manner described in the axial direction against the restoring force of the Wellfederune 18 and 20.
- the narrow contact surface in the region of the web 24 also allows a slight tilting movement. As a result, dynamic loads can be absorbed, which would lead to a high load on the nut 1 and the threaded spindle 2 in the sphere of balls 3 without this special storage.
- FIG. 2 Another embodiment of the invention is in FIG. 2 shown.
- the bearing 4 is according to the embodiment Fig. 2 designed smaller.
- Its outer bearing ring 7 is supported as in the Fig. 1 in the axial direction to the right over the Wellfederp 20 and the thrust washer 21 against the annular collar 23 of the housing cover 10 from.
- In the opposite axial direction of the bearing outer ring 7 is supported with its end face 16 via the Wellfederp 18 and the thrust washer 19 against an annular collar 26, which is formed in a sleeve 27.
- the sleeve 27 is a substantially tubular member which is divided into a plurality of sections which will be described below.
- the sleeve 27 has an inner diameter which is so large that the ball nut, the intermediate sleeve 11 and the threaded nut 25 can be guided through the sleeve 27.
- a first section in the Fig. 2 is shown on the left, has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the steering housing 9. The sleeve 27 can be inserted with this section in the steering housing 9. Subsequent to this section, the outer diameter of the sleeve 27 expands in an annular collar 28, so that the annular collar 28 can rest on the end face 22 of the steering housing 9. The enlarged in a further section outer diameter of the sleeve 27 corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the steering housing 9 and the inner diameter of the lid 10 in this area, wherein between the sleeve 27 and the housing cover 10, a gap is provided.
- the inner diameter of the sleeve 27 increases from a value corresponding to the inner diameter of the thrust washer 19 to an inner diameter larger than that of the thrust washer 19 and larger than that of the Wellfedervers 18.
- the Wellfedervers 18 and the thrust washer 19 can thus be inserted into the sleeve 27 until they rest against the annular collar 26.
- the outer diameter of the sleeve 27 remains unchanged in this area.
- an inwardly convex portion 29 of the sleeve 27 connects.
- the region 29 is convex or spherical in such a way that, in a continuous convex curvature, the radius, starting from the larger radius in the region of the wave spring 18, continuously decreases down to a minimum radius 30 and then increases again, except for the Value of the larger inner diameter in the region of the Wellfedervers 18.
- This convex portion 29 terminates where the sleeve 27 ends. There, an end face 31 is formed, which is oriented flat and just perpendicular to the axis A.
- the outside of the sleeve 27 has a purely circular cylindrical portion 34 which extends with a constant diameter at a small distance 32 from the housing cover 10 and which tapers with a mounting bevel 33 to the end face 31.
- the inner diameter of the sleeve 27 in the region of the smallest radius 30 of the convex portion 29 corresponds to the outer diameter of the bearing outer ring 7.

Under load, the bearing outer ring 7 and with it the bearing 4 and the entire arrangement of ball nut 1, balls 3 and threaded spindle 2 can move against the restoring force of the Wellfedervole 18 and 20 in the direction of the axis A. The outer bearing ring 7 can also be tilted to a limited extent due to the linear contact with the convex portion 29. It is therefore ensured that dynamic loads on the nut 1 can be neutralized by a certain mobility of the bearing 4 in their load peaks.
- the embodiment according to Fig. 2 has opposite the execution Fig. 1 the advantage that the bearing 4 can be made smaller and that above all through the sleeve 27, the entire assembly can be further pre-assembled.
- the sleeve 27 can already accommodate the corrugated spring assembly 18 and the thrust washer 19 and the bearing 4 with the nut 1 mounted therein and optionally the threaded spindle 2 already screwed in prior to insertion into the steering housing 9.
- the insertion of the sleeve 27 in the bearing 9 is simpler than the assembly of the embodiment according to Fig. 1 , Alternatively, it is conceivable and possible that the sleeve 27 is pressed with the portion 34 in the housing cover, the distance 32 is not present or designed with the appropriate interference fit is.
- the package of bearing 4 and the Wellfederallyen 18, 20 and the thrust washers 19 are installed as a preassembled module with the remaining parts of the motor vehicle power steering.
- the sleeve 27 is made of a hard or hardened steel alloy.
- the thrust washer 19 can be omitted, so that the corrugated spring package 18 can be supported directly against the annular collar 26 of the sleeve 27.
- the steering housing 9 and the housing cover 10 can be made of a light metal alloy or of a suitable plastic as described above.
- the Fig. 3 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which deviating from Fig. 1 a sleeve 27 is provided for mounting the bearing 4 in the steering housing 9.
- this embodiment corresponds to in Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment.
- Deviating from Fig. 2 has the sleeve 27 in the region of the bearing seat 8 of the bearing 4 a inwardly facing circumferential ridge 24.
- the embodiment corresponds to Fig. 3 in the region of the bearing seat 8 of the embodiment, the Fig. 1 has been described.
- the assembly advantages due to the sleeve 27 also result in the embodiment Fig. 3 , However, the bearing seat 8 with the circumferential ridge 24 is easier to manufacture than that in Fig. 2 illustrated convex portion in the region of the bearing seat.
- the web 24 is dimensioned sufficiently narrow to allow here also a slight tilting of the bearing 4, when an external dynamic load requires it.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Servolenkung, insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug, mit einem Servomotor, der ein axial verlagerbares Bauelement über eine in einem Gestell drehbar, aber axial unverschiebbar gelagerte Mutter antreibt, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a power steering, in particular for a motor vehicle, with a servomotor which drives an axially displaceable component via a rotatably mounted in a frame, but axially non-displaceably mounted nut, according to the preamble of
Bei Lenkungen mit einem elektromotorischen Servoantrieb, der über einen Kugelgewindetrieb wirkt, wird die Kugelmutter entweder drehbar und axial starr im Gehäuse gelagert oder der Kugelmutter wird durch Einsatz von Federelementen und besondere Gestaltung des Gehäuses oder des Lagers eine gewisse Längs- und Kippbewegung ermöglicht. Eine sphärische Lagerung, bei der sowohl der Lagerring als auch das Gestell eine kugelige Fläche aufweisen, ist ebenfalls bekannt. Bei dieser Lösung ist der Mittelpunkt der Kugelfläche in der Mittelebene des Lagers konstruktiv festgelegt. Ähnliche Funktionen werden von Tonnenlagern und Pendelrollenlagern ermöglicht, die einen Winkelfehler der Welle zulassen. Das Ziel dieser Lagerungen ist der Toleranzausgleich, wodurch Verspannungen des Kugelgewindetriebs vermieden werden. Weiter wird die dynamische und statische Belastung der Bauteile reduziert. Es ergeben sich verbesserte akustische Eigenschaften und die Reduktion des mechanischen Spiels, das durch Wärmeausdehnung der Komponenten entsteht.When steering with an electric motor servo drive, which acts via a ball screw, the ball nut is either rotatably and axially rigidly mounted in the housing or the ball nut is made possible by the use of spring elements and special design of the housing or the bearing a certain longitudinal and tilting movement. A spherical bearing in which both the bearing ring and the frame have a spherical surface is also known. In this solution, the center of the spherical surface in the center plane of the bearing is structurally determined. Similar functions are enabled by roller bearings and spherical roller bearings, which allow an angular error of the shaft. The goal of these bearings is the tolerance compensation, whereby tensioning of the ball screw can be avoided. Furthermore, the dynamic and static load of the components is reduced. This results in improved acoustic properties and the reduction of mechanical play, which results from thermal expansion of the components.
Bei der beschriebenen Lagerung zwischen Kugelflächen tritt ebenso wie bei der Verwendung von Tonnenlagern und Pendellagern das Problem auf, dass diese Lagerungen eher für Radialkräfte ausgelegt sind. Die in einem elektrisch unterstützten Lenkgetriebe an der Kugelmutter auftretenden Lasten sind jedoch bezüglich der Zahnstange oder Gewindespindel hauptsächlich axial gerichtet.In the described storage between spherical surfaces occurs as well as in the use of spherical bearings and pendulum bearings, the problem that these bearings are designed more for radial forces. However, the loads occurring in an electrically assisted steering gear on the ball nut are mainly axially directed with respect to the rack or threaded spindle.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Servolenkung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weil bei einer Servolenkung, insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug, mit einem Servomotor, der ein axial verlagerbares Bauelement über eine in einem Gestell drehbar in einem Lager gelagerte Mutter antreibt, wobei die Mutter mit einer an dem Bauelement ausgebildeten Gewindespindel in Eingriff steht und über das Lager in Axialrichtung mittels Federelementen elastisch gegenüber dem Gestell sowie in Radialrichtung entlang einer schmalen umlaufenden Kontaktfläche an dem Gestell abgestützt ist, wobei die Federelemente als Wellfederpakete ausgebildet sind, wobei die Wellfederpakete jeweils wenigstens zwei Elemente aufweisen, wovon wenigstens ein Element eine Wellfeder ist, wobei jeweils zwischen den wenigstens zwei Elementen eine elastische Zwischenschicht angeordnet ist, werden zugleich mehrere Vorteile erreicht. Es wird eine axiale Ausweichbewegung der Kugelmutter unter Last ermöglicht, ebenso eine Verkippung der Kugelmutter, jeweils innerhalb konstruktiv definierter Grenzen. Weiter werden die genannten Bewegungen durch die Zwischenschicht gedämpft, da diese Energie verzehrt. Schließlich wird am Ende des Verformungsweges der Wellfeder eine Anschlagsdämpfung erzielt, da die metallische Wellfeder nicht unmittelbar am Gestell oder der zugeordneten Anlaufscheibe anschlagen kann, sondern an der Zwischenschicht.This object is achieved by a power steering with the features of
Wenn zwischen den Wellfederpaketen und dem Gestell jeweils eine Anlaufscheibe eingelegt ist, muss das Material des Wellfederpakets nicht an das Material des Gestells angepasst sein. Eine besonders gute Wirkung der Federung ergibt sich, wenn die Wellfederpakete jeweils zwischen einem Außenring des Lagers und einem Ringbund des Gestells angeordnet sind.If in each case a thrust washer is inserted between the Wellfederpaketen and the frame, the material of the Wellfederpakets must not be adapted to the material of the frame. A particularly good effect of the suspension results when the Wellfederpakete are each arranged between an outer ring of the bearing and a collar of the frame.
Eine einfache Montage des gesamten Lenkgetriebes wird ermöglicht, wenn das Gestell ein Gehäuse und einen Gehäusedeckel umfasst, wobei einer der Ringbunde an dem Gehäusedeckel ausgebildet ist und wobei der andere Ringbund an dem Gehäuse oder an einer in das Gehäuse einführbaren Hülse ausgebildet ist.A simple installation of the entire steering gear is made possible when the frame comprises a housing and a housing cover, wherein one of the annular collars is formed on the housing cover and wherein the other annular collar is formed on the housing or on a sleeve insertable into the housing.
Die Freiheit der Lagerung gegenüber einer Kippbewegung unter Last wird verbessert, wenn die Hülse neben dem Ringbund auch einen Lagersitz aufweist, der den Lageraußenring des Lagers an einer äußeren Umfangsfläche hält und/oder wenn der Lagersitz mit dem Lageraußenring eine Anlagefläche bildet, die in Axialrichtung der Anordnung schmaler als der Lageraußenring selbst ist. in einer besonders einfachen Ausführung kann dabei die Anlagefläche als umlaufende Rippe ausgeführt sein. Es kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Anlagefläche linienförmig als Teilbereich einer konvexen, nach innen zu dem Lager weisenden Oberfläche des Lagersitzes ausgebildet ist.The freedom of storage against a tilting movement under load is improved when the sleeve in addition to the annular collar also has a bearing seat which holds the bearing outer ring of the bearing on an outer peripheral surface and / or if the bearing seat with the Bearing outer ring forms a contact surface, which is narrower than the bearing outer ring itself in the axial direction of the arrangement. In a particularly simple embodiment, the contact surface can be designed as a circumferential rib. But it can also be provided that the contact surface is formed linearly as part of a convex, pointing inwards to the bearing surface of the bearing seat.

In der
Die Kugelmutter 1 trägt weiter eine Zwischenhülse 11, auf der eine Riemenscheibe 12 eines Zahnriemenantriebs drehfest befestigt ist. Im Zusammenhang der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Aufnahme des Lageraußenrings 7 in dem Lagersitz 8 und insbesondere die Abstützung in Axialrichtung der Längsachse A von Bedeutung. Diese wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben.The
Der Lageraußenring 7 ist, wie bei Wälzlagern üblich, mit einer äußeren Umfangsfläche 15, einer ersten Stirnseite 16 und einer zweiten Stirnseite 17 versehen. An der ersten Stirnseite 16 liegt ein Wellfederpaket 18 an, das sich gegen eine Anlaufscheibe 19 abstützt. Entsprechend stützt sich die zweite Stirnseite 17 gegen ein Wellfederpaket 20 ab, das wiederum sich in Axialrichtung der Längsachse A gegen eine Anlaufscheibe 21 abstützt. Die Wellfederpakete 18 und 20 weisen jeweils zwei Wellfedern 128, 138, 130, 140 auf, zwischen denen eine elastische Zwischenschicht 118, 120 angeordnet ist. Die Wellfedern 128, 138, 130, 140 sind ringförmige Federn, die einen etwa gleichförmigen Radius aufweisen, der vorzugsweise mit dem Radius des Lageraußenrings 7 übereinstimmt. Die Wellfedern 128, 138, 130, 140sind nicht eben, sondern weisen in der Seitenansicht entsprechend
Die dargestellte Konstruktion sieht vor, dass die Anlaufscheibe 19 unmittelbar an einer Stirnseite 22 des Lenkungsgehäuses 9 anliegt. Die zweite Anlaufscheibe 21 liegt entsprechend an einem Ringbund 23 des Gehäusedeckels 10 an, der im eingebauten Zustand der Stirnseite 22 in einem Abstand gegenüber liegt. In Radialrichtung stützt sich der Lageraußenring 7 mit seiner äußeren Umfangsfläche 15 an einem Steg 24 ab, der umlaufend in dem Lagersitz 8 ausgebildet ist. Der Steg 24 bildet mit dem Lageraußenring 7 eine schmale, ringförmig umlaufende Anlagefläche, die ein Verkippen des Lageraußenrings 7 gegenüber dem Lagersitz 8 im geringen Umfang ermöglicht.The construction shown provides that the
Schließlich ist der Lagerinnenring 5 in seinem Lagersitz 6 durch eine Gewindemutter 25 gesichert, die auf ein entsprechendes Gewinde der Mutter 1 aufgeschraubt ist.Finally, the bearing
Zur Montage wird zunächst die Baugruppe montiert, die mit der Mutter 1 drehfest ist. Diese Baugruppe umfasst die Hülse 11 und die Riemenscheibe 12 sowie das Lager 4. Diese Baugruppe wird dann mit dem Wellfederpaket 18 und der Anlaufscheibe 19 zusammen in das Lenkungsgehäuse 9 eingeführt, bis die Anlaufscheibe 19 auf der Stirnseite 22 des Lenkungsgehäuses 9 aufliegt. Die Gewindespindel 2 kann vor oder nach diesem Montagevorgang in die Mutter 1 eingespindelt werden. Danach werden das Wellfederpaket 20 und die Anlaufscheibe 21 auf den Lageraußenring 7 aufgelegt und der Gehäusedeckel 10 wird aufgesetzt und in einem nicht dargestellten Flanschbereich an dem Gehäuse 9 befestigt.For assembly, first the assembly is mounted, which is non-rotatable with the
Im Betrieb kann nun ein elektrischer Servomotor über einen Riementrieb die Riemenscheibe 12 und damit die Mutter 1 in Drehung versetzen, wodurch über die Kugeln 3 die Gewindespindel 2 in eine Axialbewegung versetzt wird, die letztlich die Lenkbewegung für das Kraftfahrzeug bewirkt. Die Kugelmutter 1 kann sich in dem Lagersitz 8 in der beschriebenen Weise in Axialrichtung gegen die Rückstellkraft der Wellfederpakete 18 und 20 bewegen. Die schmale Anlagefläche im Bereich des Stegs 24 erlaubt auch eine leichte Kippbewegung. Dadurch können dynamische Belastungen aufgefangen werden, die ohne diese spezielle Lagerung zu einer hohen Belastung der Mutter 1 und der Gewindespindel 2 im Bereich der Kugeln 3 führen würde.In operation, an electric servomotor via a belt drive, the

Der Innendurchmesser der Hülse 27 im Bereich des kleinsten Radius 30 des konvexen Bereichs 29 entspricht dem Außendurchmesser des Lageraußenrings 7. Da der Lageraußenring 7 an seiner Außenseite geometrisch einem Kreiszylinder mit konstantem Durchmesser entspricht, ist die Anlagefläche des Lageraußenrings 7 an dem konvexen Bereich 29 in der dargestellten Position nahezu linienförmig. Unter Last kann sich der Lageraußenring 7 und mit ihm das Lager 4 sowie die gesamte Anordnung aus Kugelmutter 1, Kugeln 3 und Gewindespindel 2 gegen die Rückstellkraft der Wellfederpakete 18 und 20 in Richtung der Achse A bewegen. Der Lageraußenring 7 kann aber auch auf Grund der linienförmigen Anlage an dem konvexen Bereich 29 in beschränktem Umfang verkippt werden. Es ist deshalb gewährleistet, dass dynamische Belastungen auf die Mutter 1 durch eine gewisse Beweglichkeit des Lagers 4 in ihren Belastungsspitzen neutralisiert werden können.The inner diameter of the

Es versteht sich, dass die genannten Dimensionen der Wellfedern, der Zwischenschicht und des Rings je nach Bedarf dimensioniert werden und somit von den hier genannten Relationen abweichen können.It is understood that the dimensions of the corrugated springs, the intermediate layer and the ring can be dimensioned as required and thus deviate from the relations mentioned here.
Nur vorsorglich soll erwähnt werden, dass die rotierenden Bauteile sowie die Hülse und die Innenbereiche des Lenkungsgehäuses 9 und des Gehäusedeckels 10 sowie die Hülse 27 im Wesentlichen rotationssymmetrisch zu der Längsachse A ausgebildet sind. Die Hülse 27 kann insbesondere als Drehteil gefertigt sein.As a precaution should be mentioned that the rotating components and the sleeve and the inner regions of the steering
In allen Ausführungsformen ist es denkbar und möglich, die in Reibkontakt stehenden Oberflächen mit reibungsvermindernden Oberflächen zu versehen.In all embodiments, it is conceivable and possible to provide the surfaces in frictional contact with friction-reducing surfaces.
Die erfindungsgemäße Dämpfung der Lagerung der Kugelmutter weist durch die Wellfederpakete eine hohe Steifigkeit in Verbindung mit einer vorteilhaften Dämpfung, gegeben durch die elastische Zwischenschicht, bei sehr geringer Bauhöhe auf.The inventive damping of the bearing of the ball nut has by the Wellfederpakete a high rigidity in conjunction with an advantageous damping, given by the elastic intermediate layer, at very low height.
